Yesterday, we went on the most beautiful hike we’ve done so far this year: The Gertelbach waterfalls in the Black Forest. We didn’t want to go alone this time so we asked Mike’s brother Daniel if he wanted to tag along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we drove to the Gertelbach Wasserf\u00e4lle Wanderparkplatz, which took us a little bit over an hour. We started with our 6.5 miles hike around 10 am. There are two ways you can do this loop trail: Either you can head straight towards the waterfalls (what 99 % of all people do) or you can walk into the other direction and reach the waterfall at the end. If you know me and our hiking experiences, we would almost every time walk into the opposite direction. (Then you don’t have to let people, who are quicker than you, overtake.) This meant we would reach the waterfalls at the end, which is also a good motivation for the kids (and us) to keep on going \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning and a small stretch in the middle we hiked on wide paths (which isn’t that exciting for our kids) so I decided to change our route a little bit. But let me start at the beginning: Our first goal was to reach the Waldgasthaus Kohlbergwiese. This is a restaurant with a big playground outside. During Corona time they only serve food and drinks to go from Friday until Sunday (11am-5pm) but they had something on the menu for everyone of us and the kids had a lot of fun running around the playground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
